The sincere devotee loves God deeply whether he is non-active and silently meditating on God, or in the midst of a whirl of outer activities.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
The sincere devotee loves God deeply whether he is non-active and silently meditating on God, or in the midst of a whirl of outer activities.
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
-Jesus Christ
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
-Anne Lamott
There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.
-Blaise Pascal
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard
